"I bought a vintage Guerlain on eBay, sold as from 1982. Thanks to VIPER I found out it was actually from 1995! Now I always check here before buying: precise service, honest prices, and lightning-fast response. A benchmark for vintage lovers."

Manual Decoding, Authenticity/Fake Check & Appraisal Service

If you have a batch code not recognized by the automatic decoder, or you want an expert appraisal for your vintage perfume, you can use our premium manual service.
Our team analyzes your batch (with photos if needed) to determine the production date, estimate the collector’s value or check the authenticity of the product.

Request Manual Decoding

Note: Manual appraisal is recommended for rare batches, hard-to-read codes, discontinued perfumes, authenticity doubts or for those wanting a collector’s value estimate.

Before buying a vintage perfume, especially if the price is very tempting, trust our experts for an anti-fake check: it’s better to pay a little for expert advice than risk throwing away money for a fake.
